AssistiveTouch is awful!How do I get rid of it?

AssistiveTouch is totally blocking my ability to download new apps on my iPhone 12. I never had any trouble with Face ID doing everything I wanted to do assisted touches totally coming up my phone functions. I want to delete it ASAP.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

You might want to try turning AssistiveTouch off where you turned it on

Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch.


Else:

Tip: To turn AssistiveTouch on or off quickly, you can set up Accessibility Shortcut, then triple-click a button.


If needed:

See: How to: Use AssistiveTouch on iPhone - Apple Support for more info. and details about working with AssistiveTouch.


Al the best :-)
